Our Founders' Vision
Our story began with the vision of our founder, Tracell Peace-Nichols, and our co-founder, Timmy Nichols. They saw a pressing need in the community and decided to take action. What started as a two-person effort to help a handful of at-risk youth has now grown into an organization that serves many young people each year. The founders' legacy of compassion and commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our Future
While we are proud of our history, we remain focused on the future. Our commitment to helping youth build better lives continues to drive us. With new challenges on the horizon, we are constantly innovating and adapting our programs to meet the evolving needs of the young people we serve.
